While awaiting the release of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, some fans of the saga embarked on a licensing marathon. Considering that the next build promises to get back to basics for Ubisoft, the idea is far from absurd. Also, Syndicate holds a special place in the hearts of its longtime fans. Far from being the hit episode, Origins is the last representative of the traditional formula before it comes to subvert the French publisher’s sacred recipe.
Unfortunately, the experience has been completely ruined for many players over the past few months. Indeed, many have since taken over the PS5 and are therefore re-launching the “old” game that was released on PS4 in 2015, taking advantage of the console’s backward compatibility. Only here, the latter run into some problems with the machine. In the forums, posts are linked to report a flickering issue such as small flashes of light over and over.
You can finally play Assassin’s Creed Syndicate on PS5 smoothly again
Suffice to say that Syndicate was truly unplayable for months. If Opus has since been locked away by the majority of gamers, the fact remains that this thing is very annoying to those involved. Therefore, it will be necessary to wait until February 23 for Ubisoft to take matters into its own hands. Today, the publisher announced on Twitter that a new patch for the game has been deployed.
This should definitely fix the problem. Note that this is an update for the PS4 game as it does not have an existing PS5 port. In fact, if you encountered the same error on the old-gen console, this fix should eliminate it as well. The update is already available.
We’re happy to announce that Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will receive an update tomorrow, February 23, on PlayStation 4.
